Legal Advisors/Lawyers, Ministry of Climate and Enterprise

The Ministry of Climate and Enterprise is responsible for issues related to climate, environment, energy, business, and innovation. The ministry has two legal secretariats. We are now seeking legal advisors/lawyers for the legal secretariats to provide legal services to the ministry.

Your workday. Sweden's tomorrow.

Each legal secretariat has about 20 employees. The tasks include participating in legislative work and solving related problems. You will work with national legislation, including writing legal council memos, bills, departmental memoranda, and legislative texts. As a legal advisor/lawyer, you will provide legal services to the ministry and participate in quality assurance of the ministry's products. The work may also involve EU work and some participation in international negotiations.

Your background

We are looking for someone with a law degree and who is a court of appeal or administrative court assessor or has experience in qualified legal work that we assess as equivalent. It is an advantage if you have experience in legislative work within the Government Offices, in the investigative services, or at an authority. Knowledge of any of the ministry's areas of responsibility is also an advantage. The work requires you to express yourself very well in both spoken and written Swedish and have good knowledge of English.

Your qualities

You are analytical and can quickly grasp complex legal issues and summarize, illustrate, and present them in an accessible and pedagogical way. The criteria for employees in the Government Offices are wholeness, development, and results. This means that you need to have a holistic view and collaborate for the best of the organization. You are expected to contribute your perspective and expertise while being open to others. You bring ideas and new approaches to improve and develop the organization and your own competence. You drive your processes forward, achieve results, and adapt when needs and directions change. Sometimes the work is conducted with high intensity and under time pressure, which also requires your ability to be self-sufficient within given time frames while maintaining efficiency and quality. You must be a Swedish citizen but may have a foreign background.

We place great importance on personal qualities.

For those who do not have employment in the courts, a permanent position with an initial 6-month probationary period will be offered.
